COLD DARK ROOM

So cute the little housewife ( daughter ) and her cookies look delicious. Have a nice day.

Thank you, Auntie Bee! [emoji173]️

Well, Thursday I have to try to manhandle Misty into my truck for a trip to the vet. I'm worried. She has a soft lump near her rib cage. I don't think it's a mammary tumor (hopefully!). I've had a couple dogs in the past with those, and they're usually on or near a nipple. This one is more off to the side. I was thinking she's only about 4 years old, but I looked back at her record and she's 6 years old. She's been spayed, and that usually keeps them from growing those type tumors. My poor Misty girl. Oh how she hates to go in the truck. As soon as I open the garage door, she disappears. It takes two of us to actually get her into the truck. I've asked my daughter to go with me for help.

I love that dog!

Good afternoon, Lyn.
You realize now, that if your neighbours do have a fire, the police will check your internet and find this post.

They're quite safe really as my house is joined to theirs so I wouldn't be foolish enough to try that.
BUT on the other hand ......there's always the insurance!!!!

Good morning, Heather!
I am preparing myself for the joys of floor scrubbing, how are you?

Leave it till it's dark then you can have a night on the tiles!

 

[Lyn W]

Maybe when you have more time I could meet you in Ashbourne for coffee, would be great to meet you for real!!! Have a good trip, it's still very hot in Derbyshire. I was walking in the Peak District recently and everywhere that should be green is brown!!

You could meet at Elam (or is it Ilam) Hall if that's close.
That's a beautiful National Trust place with YH accommodation.
I stayed there while on a geog field trip with a school I taught at a while ago.
It would have been better without 30 kids!

Poor Misty that she have to see the VET and poor you Yvonne that you have to get her in the truck. I hope your daughter can help you.
Please don`t have fear that Misty could be seriously sick. It doesen`t sound to me like a mammary tumor too. They always have their beginning on / near the nipples as you mentioned.
A lumb near the ribs could be a tumor of fat ( they are always harmless ) or a sting of an insect that hardened. Don`t worry. I am sure all will turn out well.
My fingers are crossed and I know how much you love Misty. Please keep us updated. I send you as much strenght and good vibrations as possible my friend.

Strangely, there are NO baby fishes in there...........

....well we all know who the culprit is now!!!

 

[Lyn W]

I saw an ad last night that said there's going to be a female doctor who.

Yup the last or even present doctor is a woman.

Hello again Yvonne. Would it be easier for you to get Misty in your truck when you can get Misty in a dog kennel like this ?

It's not a car anymore. They went into the future and modified it to a button. [emoji6]

But I can't even find the car! How am I supposed to find something as small as a button[emoji33]

Today is my mom’s birthday. Daughter baked some cupcakes for us to celebrate.

Soon, I think, I will be able to delegate most of my kitchen duties to her. And finally all those hours of making her watch MasterChef Junior will pay off! MUAHAHA!!

I think that's the stage I missed.

If your daughter would like to come and try her cooking skills out on me she's more than welcome.

First save of the year.

Wifey and I made an early morning trip to our local HomeDepot to check on wood for our deck. (Next project). On the way over, right there sat in the middle was a nice box turtle. A quick stop and we placed him in the nice wooded, very wet culvert.

Traveled the same route home and no sign. I’m hoping he’s off to a safer area.

Good afternoon, Jane!
I love it when forum members meet up!

Indeed, I am sure it is very exciting!!! [emoji6]

 

[Bambam1989]

Better stick with rum and Irish whisky . (I guess brandy jokes are off limits? [emoji6])

I'll drink rum and Irish whiskey. Rum makes me sneeze though..
Brandy is great to have in the kitchen, good for cooking and sometimes you just need a sip

Poor Misty and a worry for you too Yvonne.
Hopefully it's just a benign cyst, my sister's dog has a few of them.
Would she be better if you covered her head to put her in the truck?
Sorry you both have to go through that
(I'm just thinking of some tactics I've seen for moving animals).

It's Ilam and yes you are right Lyn it's beautiful around there, especially without a classload of kids!

Good rescue!
Hopefully he's safe and sound now.

NOT the laundress job Adam offered!
(For a remote job with a research project)

Sounds very interesting. Tell us more...for research purposes of course.

 

[CarolM]

That’s what they all say [emoji6][emoji23]

True story!

Mmmmm I do enjoy a brandy now and again.
With babycham or port or a splash of cola or lemonade or with a coffee.......etc
I think I might have to have one before bed tonight now.
I also like rum in coffee.
Not a whisky drinker though.
